Dear Frank,

Hawaii is a wonderful place I’m here with my parents for two weeks. We have a hotel that is right on the ocean, so I’ve been spending all of my days on the beach. I don’t have to wear shoes 75 I’ve been here!

Oh, before I forgot to mention it, I’ve been learning how to ride a

surfboard! You can rent(租) surfboards from a hut on the beach.

You can also take surfing lessons. I’ve found that so far the most

76 part about surfing is balancing on the surfboard. You have

to lie down on the board first. I thought it would be very easy, but

for me the board keeps 77 in the water. It’s harder to control than it looks. After you lie on the board, you use it to swim further out to sea. About twenty metres from the shore, you turn the surfboard around and wait for a wave. When a wave comes, you have to move with it on your surfboard and catch it. At first, I wasn’t swimming quickly enough and I couldn’t 78 any waves. After many attempts, I finally managed to catch a wave and I rode it all the way back to the beach. It was great! Of course, I was still lying on the 79 the whole day.

Even though I’ve been trying for a few days now, I still can’t stand on the board. I guess I need more practice. Still, to be honest, 80 lying down, surfing is great fun. Well, Mum is calling, so I’ve to go. I wish you were here surfing with me. Take care.

Yours,

Steve

75. A) for the first time B) at the same time C) for the time being D) the whole time

As the second biggest city in the UK (just behind London),

Birmingham is the fourth most visited city in the world by

travelers. Located b 81 two of England’s big places –

London and Liverpool, Birmingham has often been overlooked.

Recently, it has also been n 82 one of the top cities in the

world by a travel book company.

According to the company, Birmingham was “the b 83 place to travel in 2015.” The city is famous for its cultural variety, excellent shopping centres and beautiful scenery. As for its cultural variety, the youngest-ever Nobel P 84 Prize winner in 2014, Malala Yousafzai, who spent most of her energy on children’s education, goes to school in Birmingham. She is known m 85 for women’s rights. The writer of The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkein also spent his childhood in this city. What’s more, the BBC TV drama Peaky Blinders(《浴血黑帮》) is set in Birmingham, too.

It’s a 86 that more than 30 places in the world take Birmingham as their cities’ name. Even a hole on the moon is called Birmingham. Moreover, not long ago, Chinese automaker Chang’an Automobiles bought several buildings at the Birmingham Business Park to do business in England’s second biggest city.

The most important invention in B 87 history, the industrial steam engine, was invented in Birmingham. Today the city is a major international commercial centre.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)

Maddy’s Extreme Journeys

Lazy Chair

I got the idea to build a motorized armchair when Mum and Dad bought new furniture for the living room. Dad got really bad-tempered when he was moving the heavy, old furniture. He said, “Armchairs should have wheels, then they could drive away by themselves.”

So I suggested that we give it some wheels.

This is what we came up with:

1.We got the wheels from an old wheelchair.

2.We used the engine from my brother’s old bicycle.

3.Dad said we had to think about safety, too. So we fitted two headlights – one on each arm –

and a seatbelt from an old car.

4.I said we also had to think about fun: so we added a stereo system and a cup holder for cups of

soda, like you see in movie theatres.

5.The armchair is made of boring black leather, so I decided to decorate it. I painted the logo of

my favourite band on one side. And a picture of sloths(懒猴) on the other side, because they’re really lazy and this is the laziest armchair ever!

Dad tested the chair in our backyard. It’s quite fast. It can travel at up to 25 kilometres an hour! I can’t wait to take it on an extreme journey. But Dad says I have to wait until I’m old enough to get

a driver’s license. Oh, well, not long now…

88. What kind of article is it?

89. What did Maddy make the special armchair for?

90. Why could the armchair run fast?

91. How fast could it travel?

92. Maddy can’t take it on a journey now, can she?

93. According to the passage, what did Maddy and her father consider when making the motorized

armchair?

Ⅶ. Writing (作文) (共20分)

94. Write at least 60 words on the topic “The spring of 2016”.

（围绕你在2016年春天的所见所闻所感，以“2016年的春天”为题，写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格）
